Release with Windows binaries?

[mloskot]

After finding number of Atuin PR-s and issues about not-rock-solid-yet but support for Windows and about attempts to use Atuin in Windows Terminal, I hoped there will be Windows binaries available to download.

Then, I found some Windows-specific traces in here

atuin/.github/workflows/release.yaml

Lines 97 to 102 in 04903bf

	run: |
	# Figure out suffix of binary
	EXE_suffix=""
	case ${{ matrix.job.target }} in
	*-pc-windows-*) EXE_suffix=".exe" ;;
	esac;

However, no Windows binaries seem to be available to download form the GitHub releases.

Assuming releases are built automatically via CI/CD, would it be possible to make Windows binaries available for those who want to test the early Windows support?

As soon as we begin building for windows, support will be required for windows

I'm not presently able to support windows users, as I don't have access to a windows system and don't use it much at all

"early windows support" isn't something we test for - a few contributors have patched things so that it works there, but generally it may break between releases if nobody is keeping it going.

Maybe that will change someday, but not presently

I see. It actually makes sense indeed.
If power users want to try the very early Windows support, then they also need to be powerful enough to build Atuin from source :)

Thanks @ellie

Exactly 😊

No worries! Hopefully at some point in the near future we can support Windows more fully :D
